Finding your
way with Garmen GPS portable navigation units
Garmen GPS navigation units come in many different shapes, sizes
and offer a variety of features for hunting, fishing, trekking
or driving. Choosing one might seem to be a daunting task at
first, because the choice of Garmen GPS units extends through
ranges designed to meet all navigational needs. They all work in
the same basic fashion – using satellites to triangulate an
accurate position so that you can find yourself on a map, or use
the built in display to see exactly where you are.
All the handheld units in the Garmen GPS range are extremely
rugged and lightweight, often boasting features which lesser
devices leave out such as the TracBack mode, which allows the
unit to reverse the logged path, thus giving the user an easy
return to their starting point. Most are also waterproof, and
come in a variety of styles and colors.
One other innovation sported by some of the map-based systems in
the Garmen GPS range is the a Geocache Navigation mode, enabling
the user to enter a series of points that are designated as
‘geocaches’ and navigate between them. Where available, the
dedicated geocache mode shows waypoint display, including
distance and expected arrival time.
Many of the more advanced Garmen GPS units also feature Wide
Area Augmentation System compatibility, and can pinpoint the
user on the base map to within 3 meters, as well as PC
connectivity to allow the transfer of information to and from
the unit. This includes compatibility with the Garmen MapSource
CD-ROM range.
